Who has no land lines and just uses their cell


Recommended Posts

We have dish network for TV. about $70/mo, comcast for internet $60/mo. No phone (landline, err, yeah).

How about your business? No landline there either?

I run a business out of my home, and I seem to be joined at the hip with the telephone company. Cable TV and high speed internet, land line phone and a separate fax line. And I also advertise in the Yellow Pages. My wife and I both have cell phones - I rarely use mine, and she uses hers almost exclusively. Cost is typically between $300 & $400 per month for everything.

My grownup kids, on the other hand, are completely wireless.

drop the useless cable tv and save yourself a $100/mo...

I would in a heartbeat, however, my wife insists on having it for certain programs she likes to watch, and she pays for it, so what can I say?... wink

We had satellite TV a few years ago, and it wasn't reliable in poor weather where we live - cell phone reception isn't great at times here, either.

Yeah, I have landlines at work. I hate qwest, but I'm pretty much stuck with them as far as I can tell. They are here about every 6 months fixing something. DSL is also through qwest and also a nightmare. Dex book and others get charged separately and are also a rip off.

I would gladly dump mine, but my hubby has a disability and even though he has a prepaid cell phone he never turns it on at home because he doesn't want the battery to go dead. Duh..his phone has a spare battery and a home charger and a car charger. And by the way half the time he won't answer our home phone until he hears it is me over the answering machine.

If you have a smart phone such as an Android or iPhone you can use VOIP or better yet Google Voice which is free. That will allow you to have a free 2nd line typically on your cellular device so that you dont tie up your main cell number. So when someone calls the Google Voice number it can be set to ring to your main line or any number you want.

Then you can dump your home phone line.
